                  UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.R. 83

  Mr. REID. I ask unanimous consent that following the filing of 
cloture on executive calendar nominations--the list of nominations is 
at the desk, the last of which is the cloture motion on the Biggs 
nomination, Executive Calendar No. 1147--the Senate resume legislative 
session and the Senate proceed to vote on the motion to invoke cloture 
on the motion to concur in the House amendment to the Senate amendment 
to H.R. 83; that if cloture is invoked, there be 2 minutes postcloture 
debate time remaining on the motion to concur; that upon the use or 
yielding back of time, the motion to concur with an amendment be 
withdrawn and the Senate then immediately proceed to vote on the motion 
to concur.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. REID. There will be some votes tonight. Everybody be patient. I 
appreciate very much everyone's patience. As I told some Senators a 
little while ago in both parties, what we have gone through over the 
last day or so I think is going to help us next year. I really mean 
that. I certainly hope so.

  I now move to proceed to executive session to consider Calendar No. 
735.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the motion.
  Mr. RUBIO. I ask for the yeas and nays.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
  There is a sufficient second.
  The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk called the roll.
  Mr. DURBIN. I announce that the Senator from California (Mrs. 
Feinstein) and the Senator from Michigan (Ms. Stabenow) are necessarily 
absent.
  Mr. CORNYN. The following Senators are necessarily absent: the 
Senator from Georgia (Mr. Chambliss), the Senator from Oklahoma (Mr. 
Coburn), and the Senator from Oklahoma (Mr. Inhofe).
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Are there any other Senators in the Chamber 
desiring to vote?
  The result was announced--yeas 53, nays 42, as follows:
